An affordable cloud solution for automation and data manipulation

Make has a single IP. We cannot use a single IP because of the security. There are a lot of crashes when you work manually. Also, they need to provide more models. When you have an error, Make should inform them with guidance before you make the mistake. There is a lot of data you can confuse.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The most valuable features of Make are the additional options when compared to other similar solutions. For example, with Google my business, you can only do certain things with Zapier, whereas with Make, you can do a little bit more."

"Make's front-end interface, the modular interface that it has, drag-and-drop interface, is very easy to understand, use, and integrate."

"Make saves a lot of time, and I have created really complex scenarios in Make."

"Make's front-end interface, the modular interface that it has, drag-and-drop interface, is very easy to understand, use, and integrate."

"The product's initial setup phase was easy."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is availability."

"It's 100% stable, it's always stable. We haven't had any bugs. The solution works very well and we haven't had any problems."

"The most valuable feature is how easy it makes it to manage the VM."

"The solution was easy to install."

"If I need to do DR, VMware can enable me to use vMotion, which requires use of vCenter. You cannot do vMotion without vCenter. We do a lot of automation, orchestration, and simplification for that purpose."

"The most valuable feature is that it's simple and very ergonomic to use the product compared to other virtualizing product. Out of Microsoft, Red Hat, and IBM, we found VMware to be the best one."

"The most crucial feature of vCenter is its scalability. We can use it to expand our network, so we don't have to report our client devices. The network configuration features are also helpful because we can migrate entire networks."

Cons

"The pricing of Make at this point is through operations consumption, and it becomes really expensive in certain scenarios when iterations are involved."

"Make can be a bit difficult to use for new users, but for someone with technical knowledge and some coding skills, it becomes manageable, especially with Make's great UI features that really help."

"Make could improve the ease of use, it can be more complicated than other solutions. There are a lot of elements that are more technical than in other solutions."

"I believe a transparent view and better terms of condition between Oracle and vCenter Orchestrator would be helpful."

"Its technical support team takes a long time to escalate the issues."

"In the next release, to make it easier to write the workflows, I would l like to see more HTML GUIs."

"The custom workflows are very difficult and confusing."

"I did not do the initial setup. However, it was complex at the beginning."

"I would like to have an interface that can manage both on-premises and cloud solutions from a single console, where we can easily manage the resources that are being used or at least applications. Whereby clicking here and there from on-premises to cloud, or cloud to on-premises, depending on the requirements. If that can be accomplished, it will be extremely beneficial."

"This is an expensive solution."

"As we work towards more stability on the solution, sometimes we'll try something and it breaks and it's easier to restart the service. That's the only drawback. We've experienced this with other applications as well."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Make is approximately $20 per month for the platform."

"This solution is expensive and the licensing is more attractive for Haveri."

"vCenter Orchestrator is an expensive solution."

"vCenter Orchestrator could be more affordable."

"The concept of hyper-convergence is smart. I don't know if it can be applied with less cost to be more affordable for small or medium-sized companies. The cost is a very important factor for it. We are currently depending on SAN storage. However, the hyper-converged solutions are depending on the storage within the hosts, such as vSAN in the VMware. It is a smart solution."

"The price is reasonable, and one of the reasons that this product was selected."

"The licensing module is somewhat complex. Calculating the cost is complicated. Many of our clients are unclear about the billing system and the traffic metering."

"My company needs to make yearly payments towards the licensing costs attached to the product."

"The licensing cost is manageable because they have different versions available, standard, essential, and advanced."
